About CME Architects
Philosophy
Our goal at CME is to make the client feel like we are part of their team. We work closely with them to ensure that they understand the process and are part of all the steps of the design process from conception to project completion. We find it important to keep the lines of communication open to help the entire project run smoothly.
Whether a homeowner, developer, contractor or corporate client, we treat each client as our most important. Our strength lies in our experience with many different clients and projects, which gives us the confidence and knowledge to see a project through to completion.
At CME, we service a diverse field of clients. Craig and Erin’s main focus is on the residential clients on which the firm was built. They have worked with both homeowners and local contractors and developers, some for over 15 years. Matt’s experience and main focus lies in the fields of retail, hospitality, and corporate architecture.
History
CME was established in the fall of 2016 as a re-brand of Golemme Mitchell Architects. Craig Mitchell began laying the foundation for CME back in January 2004, when he started a small yet distinguished residential design firm. Craig hired Erin Fullam in the fall of 2005 to assist with production. As the residential firm grew, the need to expand and diversify the client base became apparent. Craig hired Matt Bouchard in the summer of 2013, adding his experience in the commercial field. Matt, a registered architect in Massachusetts and Connecticut, also brought with him several of the clients he had worked with over the years, which supplemented the long list of contractors and developers that Craig and Erin had established as a client base. Together, Craig, Matt and Erin bring a combined 50+ years of experience in all aspects of Architectural design and practice.
Our Process
No matter what your design needs are
There are several general services that go into most projects:
Meeting with the client and establishing an initial scope of work. Getting a feel for their wants, needs, and expectations.
Developing a proposal, putting in writing our process and spelling out the fees involved.
Beginning the design process and developing the plans with the client until they are happy with the result.
Drafting Construction Documents to comply with all state and local codes. Final Documents include coordination with engineers and any consultants relevant to the specific project.
Construction Administration to ensure that the design intent is met and that the work is being completed until the client is satisfied that their vision is realized.
These tasks will vary from job to job, but generally these are the processes being performed on a daily basis at CME Architects.
The pricing structure will vary depending on the amount of time spent on each of these tasks. For instance, the residential sector will rarely require the construction administration phase, unless the project consists of a multifamily dwelling. The coordination with engineers and consultants varies between each sector and each job.
